{Work in progress…}
The system of time used here is written as 01/01, the first digit being the month, and the second being the year. An ** repesents an unknown date, which I will try to fill in. As I have not been able to locate a date within the book that would correspond with our understanding of it, I have made my own, beginning with the birth of Tita in 01/01 AT (after birth of Tita…) For now, Christmas has been set at 06, so I have mostly numbers instead of a lot of variables. I’ll try to find a better date for it later. Hope this helps you guys understand the book!
**/01 BT – Birth of Rosaura De la Garza
01/01 AT – Birth of Tita De la Garza
– 2 Days later, Tita’s father dies, and Mama Elna’s milk dries up
**/10 AT – Tita wins a race across the Rio Grande (implying the live near the border with the US of A)
**/15 AT – Tita saves her sisters in the carrige by taming the bolting horses
06/16 AT – Tita and Pedro Muzquiz meet at Christmas Dinner, and fall in love
– They plan to be married in 1 year
12/16 AT – Pedro and his father come to the ranch to ask for Tita’s hand
– Pedro agrees to marry Rosaura instead of Tita
{End of January, in the book}
07/17 AT – January 12th, Pedro and Rosaura are married
– Everyone at the wedding, aside from Tita and Nacha, gets very sick, and everyone barfs everywhere (XD!!!)
– Nacha dies in her sleep in the night
10/17 AT – Around this month, Pedro and Rosaura consummate their marrige
{End of Feburary, in the book}
{To be continued at a later date. I would appreciate comments or input, or even bug fixes.}

And this looked a LOT better when it was it text form… crazy formatting issues…

Regarding your comment above about formatting issues and text form: Im not sure by ‘text form’ if you mean .txt Notepad form where all the characters are aligned by column, or something else… but anyway, if you want something to appear in ‘Code’ form like it does in Notepad .txt files, when you post you can click on the ‘Code’ tab which is beside the ‘Visual’ tab and then you can edit the HTML. There, you can write
, and your text goes in between the two tags…
